Choreographers Notes:

Start dance after the first 16 beats when danced to Siamsa.

With this music the speed changes a couple of times throughout the dance, When danced to the 3rd wall for the final time the dance slows considerably from beat 33 to 40,

You should re-start the dance from the beginning when the music starts again.

 

Note from Ian Richards, teacher at Walsall and Pensnett, West Midlands:

 

For Performances, after the music slows right down, (t-u-r-n, k-i-c-k--b-a-ll-c-h-a-n-g-e, s-t-o-m-p) you can repeat the beginning of the dance twice (sailor shuffles, cross un-wind) and then start again on count one. I.E. You dance three sets of sailor shuffles in a row. You will finish the dance at the point where you usually "cross un-wind" on the sailor shuffles; here, don't cross un-wind, but simply pause, stomp right, then left.

You end facing the wall you started from.
